CONFERENCES

      Microphysiological System (MPS) World Summit 2022

      Date
      May 30, 2022 - Jun 3, 2022
      Location
      New Orleans, USA

      40+ international organizations and companies have teamed up for this proposal to initiate a series of annual MPS World Summits to present the latest scientific achievements, discuss the advances and challenges, and enable communication between newly interested scientists and pioneers of the Microphysiological (MPS) field.  MPS comprise a number of bioengineering breakthroughs that reproduce organ architecture and function in vitro. Fueled by stem cell technologies, a broad variety of especially human models and test systems have emerged, which make relevant experimental tools broadly available through international and multi-disciplinary collaborations.

      The conference series are a key tool to form a community and accelerate scientific developments, their implementation and global harmonization. They provide an overview on the state-of-the-art in such dynamic and diverse fields, enabling transfer learning.

      Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
